Any user in the admin group can sudo

You can easily enable the root account: sudo passwd root

I love Ubuntu. It's on all of my machines, even my ibook :)

I missed a flame war here

reading the comments after the story; it looks like a BS article.

2-3 seconds here :D

1) No 2) Depends, but it probably won't be easy at first. 3) Personally I wouldn't use exchange. I have a mail server set up that uses Qmail and Courior IMAP. It has webmail access as well as web based admin. It's a nice setup, but it took half a day to set it up and get it running right. It's been running 100% trouble free for 6 months now, it's awesome....

I dont plan on using the raid anyway, so it's no biggie for me. I also discovered it supports the new serial ATA interface, ATA 150 :) Though I probably won't use that anytime soon either...

Doh! I'm getting mine tomorrow too, but I got a 2.0Gh at 400Mhz, I really wish I would have got the 2.5!!! at the time I didn't realize it was only an extra $30.... I do like the specs of my mobo, it has usb 2.0 and firewire, as well as built on raid controler and supports up to 3GB of PC2700 ram! http://us.shuttle.com/specs.asp?pro_id=94 Full specs are here :D

Lycorsis sux! Not only does it look like windows, it crashes like winodows too.

Indeed....

Just getting ready to build my new p4 2.0 GHz system with PC2700 ram :P and wanted some feedback 8) I'm also putting a DVD drive in this one, will DVD's play right after a new install or will I have to mess with it?

I like Pico myself :)

Doesn't look like they are planning on making it freely available: Source Code Much of the software that comprises Xandros Desktop is Free or Open Source software. Many of the licenses that govern the redistribution this software require Xandros to make the source code for these components available to anyone who receives a copy of the product. If you are interested in obtaining a copy of the source code for the Free and Open Source software components in Xandros Desktop, contact: feedback@xandros.com.

The last I read it was greater than MacOS at somewhere near 5% and growing.
